Privacy Policy

1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Mist is designed to be a safe haven for your creative inspiration. As an AI-powered assistant, we believe that your Moodboards, tags, and categorized images are personal property. This policy outlines how we handle data while prioritizing Mist's core philosophy: local storage and user-centric privacy.

2. Information Collection

To provide our intelligent waterfall layout and AI tagging features, we may process the following:

• Local Media Access: With your permission, Mist accesses your photo library to import images into the app.
• Device Information: We may collect technical details such as OS version and device model to optimize the AI categorization performance.
• Usage Data: We track basic interaction patterns (like feature engagement) to improve the folder management experience.
• Sensitive Permissions: We do not track physical location or access contacts. Our AI analysis of images happens locally or via encrypted processing paths.

3. How We Process and Use Data

Mist utilizes your data strictly for functional purposes:

• AI Categorization: Specifically for identifying visual elements to suggest smart tags.
• Organization: To facilitate the creation of folders and Moodboards.
• Personalization: To tailor the inspiration feed to your collection habits.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties, nor do we use your uploaded inspiration for general advertising profiles.

4. Storage and Security

Mist prioritizes local storage. This means your high-resolution inspiration and generated sharing cards are stored primarily on your physical device. When data is synced or processed, we use industry-standard encryption. We retain your data only for as long as you maintain the application on your device or as required for account functionality.

5. Third-Party Services

Our application may utilize external SDKs for analytics, AI processing, or cloud synchronization. These partners are vetted for their security standards. They are prohibited from using your data for any objective beyond providing the specific technical utility required by Mist.

6. User Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Regardless of your location, Mist supports your right to privacy. You have the right to:

• Access the data Mist has stored about your usage.
• Request the permanent deletion of your account and associated cloud data.
• Correct any inaccuracies in your profile information.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at the email provided below.

7. Children's Privacy

Mist is a professional tool for creative adults. We do not intentionally gather information from individuals under the age of 18. If we discover that a minor has provided us with personal details, we will take immediate steps to purge that data from our systems.

8. Changes to This Policy

As Mist evolves with new AI capabilities, we may update this policy. We will notify you of significant changes via an in-app alert or by updating the date header of this page. Your continued use of Mist after updates constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
